workers in utah. 16 others in a nearby park were kept away by a wall of water on monday. >> i have lived here all by life. the mayor said the group was on a day trip as the group was trapped. as floodwaters washed around them. it came around behind the vehicles and engulfed the vehicles, and walked down into the creekbed. the vehicles were located more than a quarter of a mile away from the location. >> one of the youngest victims was found further away. >> the vehicle is right here. you came all the way down, it's not on the map. >> reporter: officials say three children survived. search and rescue efforts are expected to continue into wednesday. >> we like so have hope in there might be a chance of a rescue before our period. but, again, we have to treat it

also as a recovery. >> utah's governor, away in china declared hillsdale a disaster zone. >> obviously this is one of the worst weather related disasters in the history of the state of utah, because of that, we are bringing the full resources of the state to bear. crews are using bulldozers to clean up tonnes of mud and debris. >> this is off my street right here. this is the front yard. >> hillsdale is the home of a breakaway set that practices polling amy. the leader is serving life in prison for assaulting underaged girls. on monday the national weather service issued a flash-flood warning. they are discouraged from watching tv and using the internet. many in the community may have been in danger

kevin corriveau joins us with more on the floods. utah has never seen anything like this. >> that's right. this is the single deadliest day. it's a combination of the rain, let's show i what you have here, this is due to what was won off the coast of mexico, bringing up the moisture. i want to take you in. you can see that it extended all the way to kvl. i want to take the radar back 30 hours, ch is where hillsdale saw the flash floods. it's not one storm. take a look. you see the storms passing through. tonight we are dealing with heavily rain across that region. that will go on for the next six hours or so. we want to show you.

a lot of that, in hillsdale, it was fun edged and we saw the power of the force of the water. >> flash floods can be terrifying northern california struggles through fires, made worse by draughts, the southern part is seeing record rains. some seeing flash floodings, and thousands. more than two and a quarter inches of rains flooded roadways and ground traffic to a halt. it led to a dramatic rescue along the river. emergency crews pulled two men and a dog from a tree. one of the men was taken to hospital. he is expected to be okay. >> devastating wildfires are burning. they have burnt through more than 200 square miles combined. >> the valley fire destroyed

hundreds of homes. it's 15% contained. they are reporting more success on the larger of the two blazes. the bute fire is 37% contained. jake ward is in california, a town devastated by the fire. what is happening there now? >> evening. the fire here has taken a turn for the better, in one sense. a few minutes ago the cal fire authority basically announced that they are 30% containment. but the fire grew to a little over 67,000 acres, a big fire. there's a sort of a deadly stillness that has settle the over the town. we can hear choppers and fire-fighters out there, fighting the rest of the blaze. the real question is what is it about this fire that is new. and are the tactics that are employed, for decades, are they appropriate in an era when the fire is behaving in new ways.

>> the valley fire, more than 60,000 acres to size, a fast burning fire. is the latest in a series of blazes defying past fires. homes got in the way. >> how is this different. >> we have seen fires move rapidly. >> it's not just that the dry conditions makes the gyre fighting harder, they are changing the fire itself. >> firefighters refer to the colour of the earth as good black. that means the fuel has been burnt away. they can relax in this place, because the fire swept through once. and won't come back. >> you can trust the trees, like the ones over my shoulder, would take care of themselves in a fire. that they are not going to burn in the canape. >> the problem is the fire is not obeying the rules.

in this tree the canape burnt. that means there's no such thing as good black, because it can come back through the cannes op yip. the firefighters cannot relax, they can't trust the training in the same way they used to be able to. without the moisture in the plants, the fire doesn't have to use a lot of energy, meaning it has more energy to continue to move at a faster and more intense rate. >> the incident commander says the new behaviour overmatched local resources. >> like with all the other fires in the county, dry fuels, automatically had spotfires over the place, overwhelming the amount of resources on the initial order. it totally changed the tactics. getting people out of harm's way. >> firefighters can do their job

safely and keep us safe when they are safe, when it lines up with what they no about fires. the fires are of a new breed, born of new conditions and they are withining the fight. >> antonio, fire-fighters are hopeful that because the weather turned. there's a tiny bit of rain and winds died down, that this may take a turn for the better. three-quarters of the largest fires in the history of california have taken place in the last 15 years, this is a trend. that means the fire-fighters will have to adapt to the new fire. >> let's hope it is turning for the better. >> with refugees flooding into europe. several countries are increasing effort to keep them out. hungary declared a state of emergency in two reasons and started to arrest people entering the country illegally. >> 22 drowned when a boat

carrying refugees capsized. the e.u. is considering an emergency summit of 28 leaders to deal with the crisis. andrew simmonds has more on the tense situation at the serbian, hungarian border. >> with the state of emergency at the border, hungary took the crisis into a new direction, making life harder for refugees. many found themselves stuck in no man's land, with no way in to hungary, and no way back to serbia. >> they don't understand us - i told the army just to the describe our situation. they don't understand. >> bit shutting the main border crossing from serbia to the european union, hungary provoked outrage from the southern neighbours. the government here insists that the new laws are justified. >> those that have not applied

on that journey to the border, to any kind of asylum, there's no sign of that in the system. and they don't approve of that, they'll be turned back. >> opposition parties attacked the government for its action. >> the order of the life is stronger than the order of the law. it's outrageous what is happening. we will not forgive the measures, the hungarian government. >> the far right party said the government had done too little, too late. one of the leaders spoke at a news conference, heckled by two protesters. iraqi refugees were appealing for water and food. the hungarian prime minister believes he's taking the lead at a time when the members can't

reach agreement on share quotas, and the rift between east and west of the european union has never been bigger. it's shaking the union to its very foundations. >> while e.u. leaders are slow in making decisions on the ground. here the situation once again is deteriorating quickly we are learning more about the scale of the refugee crisis. the european border agency says 156,000 refugees arrived in europe in august. more than 500 arrived. that is nearly double the 280,000 refugees that arrived in all of 2014. >> president obama addressed the situation during a meeting in the oval office, speaking during a photo op. the president said it will take a joint effort from the u.s. and europe to help those in need.

being, the number one priority is gone, there's nothing to live for any more. >> many people i spoke with are too afraid to go on camera. they are here in the u.s., but fear the regime would retall yat violently against family members stuck in the war. >> this 82-year-old was too worried to use her name or appear on camera, she'd rather be in syria. >> do you wish you could stay there. >> i have family and sisters there. i just have my children here. >> she prayed that nothing will happen to them. >> her son took the same precautions. he knows people that are fighting to topple the regime. >> so many are left. the people that are fighting, are they done? >> the ones fighting for justice, for their own honour, those people do not stop fighting ever. >> while the question asked over

and over in private homes on public streets, off camera and on, is why doesn't the u.s. and united states do more. at least they can tell the children they don't have to be scared any more. >> fear was following us. it does not exist any more. >> our special coverage of the global crisis continues throughout the week. join us for a special report "desperate journeys." secretary of state john kerry again called his counterpart in moscow about russia's continuing build up in syria. kerry was adamant that their continued support of the bashar al-assad creates conflict. >> russia's gangs are taking up air space and two military cargo flights are arriving every day
